senate foreign policy adviser james just trust told us how a bomber has so far failed to step away from the controversial global strategies of the bush era. i don't think they're much better but they're not much worse either i think the main thing that characterized mr obama's first term was continuity with the bush legacy most notably for example in the intervention in libya i think the real question is is will there be a shift in his second term in line with what he said today for example will we back away from potential confrontation or in military involvement in syria will we back away from confrontation with iran and will we withdraw the missile deployment system on russia's western borders there are things that he can do to radically shift in his second term away from that bush legacy what a bomb his first four years showed he wasn't by failing to keep some of these pledges. questions if it's a trend that he's had to stay. it's generally thought that his second term six u.s. president on walks those handcuffs that kept them from doing great things in their first term because they
